The thing is what exactly are you going to do once people donate $1880? Send max a PM saying "okay you can take my site now"? If we really do wait until people donate that amount then people will still be viewing HTPAT during that time and we'll still end up losing money.

Why should you give a sh*t about what these immature downvoters think? Whether they like it or not, it's a legendary site and can't be taken down. Don't listen to the people who downvote it just because it's popular.

It's not your fault. Somebody put it up on StumbleUpon (Ive seen it twice on there), as well as blogs. $1800? Non-users should be getting pop ups or other ads. If enough people put "thumbs down" on StumbledUpon it should just go away.

I dont understand what the need for a proposal is. Yeah, we all hate this site by now, but whether max wants to get rid of it or not is up to max. "reparations" is total bullsh*t. If it's costing max excessive amounts of money, he'll do something about it. Who knows, maybe the hits it brings are good for ad revenue to keep the site going.

Why the hell would I want to pay back anyone for this crap? "I made this lame website, so pay me for it, and I will take it down" Hell, wouldn't taking it down refund the money anyway? Why don't you go the extra mile and take it down, donate $100 to Blue Ball Machine, and we will call this a $1780 mark in history?

why doesn't everyone stop viewing the other site Retarded ytmnder "duh, i wonder how we get rid of this site, oh i know insted of ignoring it and letting it go away on its own, we should view it every day amd spam it, wow we are so smart" and you know what i said is true

so the way to take that sh*t down is to make another YTMND to get more views... and now your asking us to pay for something you caused in the first place... heck I havent washed my car in over 2 weeks so the only way im gonna get it washed is when someone else pays for it XD... pay for it yourself, im just gonna ignore it now and hopefully find some good YTMND's instead of this sh*t

Here's my thought: I made similar sites, where I took someone's work and put it up on YTMND without any additional "funny" added to it. They were mostly excercises in GIF synchronization: http://colbertword.ytmnd.com/ and notgetasskickedbypolice.ytmnd.com . They got semi-popular, and I have always wanted to delete them, but I didn't like the idea of deleting something people liked. Now I don't care: Telemarketer makes me ashamed to have them. BALEETED!

You never responded to my message I sent you titled, "PLEASE READ! I got an idea that DOESN'T involve you dying!" It was a very interesting proposal, and if you would be so kind as to re-read it, you may like the idea!

In my opinion, you are not legendary, nor is the site anything more than an exceptional nuisance. You have something every YTMNDer wants and few deserve: fame. Now take that fame and crap all over your audience. I am thinking ear-rape, Poland and 3500Hz square wave style, with a picture of a known YTMNDer wearing his wife's bra and holding a shoe over his head. THEN I will donate!

**Hey dude, I'm sure you know what this is about, but I got an idea that's not calling for your physical harm or anything of the sort. I respect the fact that you have created a ytmnd as popular as yours is, but I must agree with the numerous people who believe it is unfortunate (for lack of a better word) that it is going as far as it has. Yes, the site is funny, but it's not legendary like the ytmnd's it's soon to pass and has already passed. I have a proposition, which you may have already heard or not,

**so please hear me out!
I think it would be best if you reposted the exact same site with a different url so that it would start fresh as just a regular ytmnd. Perhaps you could explain in that new site why you are reposting. As for the current one, why not change it to say, "Due to the hundreds of thousands of hits to this site, it has been moved to here: (the new url) Due to the nature of www.ytmnd.com (You're the man now dog!) we the users of the site ask you to make yourself familiar with the

**origional ytmnd found here: http://yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com/ Thank you." Something like that would be great and would please a lot of people. If you did something like that you could do it in any way you please, but I think there are many benefits for both ytmnd and yourself.

**
1. You continue to have the site with 2 million+ (and growing) views.
2. The rating of the site may increase. (I would change my vote to a 5, and if you wished, would go on a campaign to get others to change their vote back to a 5)
3. The general negative feeling about you would be lifted, and in some eyes you may become a hero.
4. The origional ytmnd would be viewed more often and consequently appreciated by more people.
5. Your new site, more than likely downvoted initially, would soon be understood

**and admired. If you explain the reasoning behind the repost, I'm sure there will be people sane enough to appreciate the gesture.
6. Your new site would gain an enormous amount of views as well. As soon as the websites linking to HTPATM realize it has been changed, many may try to link to the new one, but will most likely not notice.
7. Well... you get the idea.
So please, consider this option. I believe it would be a most epic maneuver on your part!

F*ck Max. F*ck what he owes. It's his idea, let him worry about it. You stuck to the simple rules of, "Picture, Sound and Text".
Picture....of the text, and the sound. That is a YTMND at it's core. You're getting page views.....big deal. People are hating on you because you're number one. Let Max delete it and show everyone how facist he is.

Umm... Are you saying the YTMND community should pay money for the damage your YTMND has caused? My suggestion: resubmit under different name, then change the original to something else. I believe that the YTMND is viewhacked, but not by you. So by taking away this one, and instead adding the resubmitted one to the HoF, HTPAT will recieve a state of controversial heroism. Or try to arrange something with max, something like make it only viewable through HoF and no longer make it show up in the other lists.

People dont encourage this guy, if he gave a damn about max's bandwidth costs you think he would be posting this? No, he wouldve just changed the image/sound and let the original die. This is all a big stunt to clear whatever conscience he has.

or a way for him to lol at the community a bit more. Why max hasnt taken action on his own yet is beyond me. HTPAT brings absolutely 0 to the site, and pulls money and resources away because of ebaum style comedy that 70 year old grandmothers enjoy. And the best part is..you recognize it, and honestly dont give a sh*t.

An interesting proposal. But one I don't feel will fly. Here's what I can tell you bud. Stand your ground. You created this site. I hate the site myself, and I'm not alone. But you have the freedom to keep the site around until a superior says that can no longer be the case. Forgive me if I do not know the whole story, but as it sounds to me Max is not upset with this site. I mean hell it's been HOF'd right?

The only place I myself heard the $1800 figure was an email Max sent to Mr. Mabe for the free advertising he recieved while his clip has been "hosted" on YTMND. But personally, if I were you, I would not even think about dropping this site unless Max pried it out of your cold, dead hands. The site may not be funny in many's opinion, but yes, it is legendary. There has been no other to achieve such amount of views in such a short time, or ever for that matter.

Consider it one of Saddam's mansions. Sure many people view it for it's evil side. But does that mean it's not historic? Does that mean that, despite it epic role in the world, it should be torn down? This is, in my honest opinion, a historic site. (lol pun)

Wow, I am honestly disgusted. Here you have a chance to make good and simply delete the site yourself, but instead you choose to hold the site for ransom. That you honestly thought people would donate actual money, let alone $1800, to one of the most hated sites in YTMND's history is so ridiculous and illogical that it borders on being offensive. If I saw you in person I would smash your face in with a tire iron.

why is the site costing max more money then any other site? sure it has lots of views, but if the users wernt viewing it then wouldnt they just be viewing another site?
I say u just delete the stupid site, it was never funny to begin with.......

Mmmm...itll fail, hard and fast. The blame falls on you, like it or not. And do not complain, people, that the site cannot be deleted now that it is in the hall of fame, because its not like the site gained 4 million views in half an hour, here. Vote withheld.

You all suggest me paying the $1880, but I will not pay anything cause I have not done anything that I believe has damaged the site. The challenge is on the community who hates my YTMND (a large community) to donate and prove how I am ruining the site, and that their downvote's and accusations are not out of jealousy but because they cared for YTMND. I'm offering a choice to the community, and to Max which benefits everyone except me if you all follow through. At a dollar each you would EASILY pay the 1880.

I agree with max. That site is obviously bugged. Having the site on YTMND should not cost max anything. Puting some joke radio show link with the text did not do it for me. Just ebaumed up this site which btw, is being flushed with bullsh*t posts and average-not-funny-sh*t. thanks, but no thanks.

People are just jealous. There are people who downvote the hell out of other people's sites just for giving it a five. Yeah, it's a funny site. Should it been as popular as it was? Maybe not. Still, it's just a website. I say, ignore the haters, move on with life. If it bothers you that it costs Max so much, take it down. Otherwise, no one should care THIS much about the internet.

You CAN just edit the site to something retarded so people wont view it or DELETE IT, and yet you decide to be a DICK and be like "OHH JUST DONATE WHILE MY SITE IS KILLING MORE F*CKING MONEY AND SO IT GETS +++TOP SPONSORED AND GETS MORE VIEWS. Just SHUT THE F*CK UP AND DELETE THE SITE

$1880 is never going to happen. i doubt it will even reach $100. nobody wants to donate to a site they hate. not enough people can donate either. saying if 1880 people donates $1 sounds good on paper but i dont think there are even 1880 users who have even donated before. if i could donate i still wouldnt out of my hate for the site. donating to something you hate is just...doesnt feel right. i kind of like the idea but its not going to happen.

F*ck you and die in a fire you worthless sh*t. You just want more e-fame, f*ggot. Now, if you really "cared" you'd have followed my advice I gave you when you made a thread on /b/ bitching about TEH MEEN PPL . You could have turned this into an awesome troll but you're too wrapped up in yourself to think about anything else. If you seriously think anyone will donate to your YTMND you must be retarded.
Someone brute force this guys ytmnd account password plox.

max doesnt need your permission to take the site down. If you wanted to delete the site, he would have. If you wanted to delete the site... you can't since its a HoF site. So, you can propose all you want, but the the site's not going anywhere.

just redo the site with something better representing the real ytmnd...
so the outsiders, who click on the blogs, forums etc. links will find some epic surprise
groundhogmabe.ytmnd.com would be a good start

Man, I had respect for you until this. You cave in to the pressure of a bunch of whiny 14 year old pussies who cry over a f*cking website? F*CK YOU! And I'm not impressed with your complete failure in EXPLAINING why this site cost Max money (yeah right) before you ask us to pony up our hard earned (in most ppls case here...their mom's hard earned) cash. WTF! Change the site back to what it was, STFU, and carry on. (the original pwns btw)

"I am planning to give the site to Max, the only really way to delete it." ....... Umm, the site's his bro. I understand what you are saying and I think it's nice for you to say "It's ok by me to delete it" but I'm sure he's considered deleting it, and he doesn't need your permission... As far as the pricks that flame, let them flame. What you did is a good thing, you brought ytmnd traffic. If max couldn't handle it, he would take the site down, because he can do that.

I understand that everyone's tired of seeing at the top10 every single day, I am too. But that's a good thing. More brains = more creativity = more funny CLEVER stuff (NOT FADS, although I have no problem with them at all, and aren't saying they aren't clever, most of the stuff without fads IS clever) IF MAX THINKS THE SITE IS HURTING YTMND, I VOTE LET HIM TAKE IT DOWN.

*********************************SPHONIX READ THIS NON-FLAME*************************************** Please do not take ANY action. DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL SITE OR CHANGE THE GIF. IGNORE THE FLAMING MORONS THAT BLAME YOU. LET MAX DECIDE WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN, HE IS THE BOSS, NOT THESE FLAMING 12 YEAR OLDS ********************************************************************************

The reason this site is still number 1 is because it's been LINKED all over the f*cking English speaking world. Some joe blow site has it linked and is getting hits. Could Max possible change the URL so that all those links will be dead. That way the only site to have it is the YTMND and it has to start dieing..

Who do you think you're kidding? Quit trying to be so "noble" by saying that the fate of your YTMND lies in our hands (or wallets). It lies in YOUR hands. If you *really* gave a crap about what the YTMND community wanted, you'd change your page into something lame(r), if only red X for a picture and no sound or text. Get off your high horse, retire your air of false piety, and do something worthwhile.

Who's site are we supposed to donate to? Yours? We're supposed to support your piece of sh*t site MORE? You already have 100,000 views a day, you want $1880 in sponsorship, too? How is that fair to YTMND at all? It isn't. I care about this website, you, however are a whore.

Alright so first you make a simple site which takes no skill (I'm also guilty of this, but atleast I dont exploit it) and add an image with text, probably send it to various sites for viewing or View-Hacking the site itself, then ransom YTMND for it? You need to die, sir.

He's claiming it's cost him money? What? like 5 million hits in several months does nothing for his ad revenue? Isn't advertising sold on a "per impression" basis- the price of which directly proportionate to the amount of viewers? Im confused.

The only reason I hate telemarketer is because the comment page crashed my browser. That's it. It's the only reason. Frenchbreadpizza is totally right, it is your site and you get to keep it if you want to. Just be aware that people will a) Hate it because hating it is in b) Hate it because it's knocking other, worthier sites off top viewed c)Hate it because the comment page crashed their browser. So.

You sick F*ck. You cost max money, then want to make us pay for it? Who the hell was your kindergarten teacher? Satan? Yes, Max can delete the site at any time, but he's being the bigger man and letting you keep it for now.
You LOSE!!!
Go do the world a favor and taste a shotgun.
Or redirect this URL to any GOATSE image. (i will donate $1000)

I fought you before over this in the comment section, and I even sent you a PM to you calling you out to prove your innocence to your accusers. You failed to do that, and you ignore the fact that the original HTPAT, corrupted by you or not, is nonetheless corrupted. Perhaps it may be linked all over the net, but I can't honestly believe that it was viewed a legal amount of times. As it led up to topping BBM, it was getting 100k views a day, and dropped quickly down to 30k afterwards. Suspicious.

Moreover, you have the gall to call the YTMND community out to donate to a site that is doomed to be deleted. The least you could have done was suggest that we donate to the original you'rethemannowdog.com site that started Max's creation. You hold the site in your hands as thought we owe you something, when you are the two-faced harlequin that is no doubt laughing as we watch with awed faces. There is no alternative to your act of so-called generosity, or the use of force?

Ultimately, it was Max's decision to keep the site from being deleted. As I see it, Sphonix wanted to get rid of the site long before any damages were done, but couldn't once it became locked. Now who's liable? The person who created a site with no way to predict that $1880 worth of damage would take place- or the person who forced it to stay up despite all the drama?

Why not just hand the site over to Max without making such proposals that seem preposterous to the average YTMND voter. I joined the petition to have your original creation removed, and I stand by my claim that your site was boosted through the ranks with corruptive means, namely viewhacking. I call you out yet again to take the stage and make yourself a legend in the eyes of the community by simply sacrificing the site without any of your devilish piety. Thank you, and good night.

just delete the f*cking site, you greedy jew. "pay me for my mistake" ah f*ck you and your dirty money wanting yamaka. You can chose to discuss this in my office,Sphonix. It's the office with the sign "oven" above the door, don't mind the flames, they are just there for decoration.

To put it on our shoulders is unreasonable. I don't know who leaked the site to whatever web sites and blogs, but thats what bothers me, because thats not what ytmnd is all about, in my opinion. I think ytmnd is a by us, for us kinda thing where users of this community get to view, share, laugh, and downvote each others ytmnd's without spreading them all over the net and costing max thousands. The site is yours, so to prevent further damages you should take initiative and delete the site.

Sphonix your a f*ggot. Why don't you take you gay telemarketer site to ebaum's world or something. This sh*t was never even funny, it also involved no skill. All you f*cking did was go around to a bunch of blogs and posted that sh*t site of yours. What kind of f*ggot listens to the Bob and Tom show anyway?

Sphonix - You're destroying your "reputation." You can end this all now, but you're too f*cking egotistic. "MY HOWTOPRANKATELEMARKTER YTMND IS SO COOL!!11" Wtf? No it ain't. It's a piece of sh*t and thousands of people agree. Just delete this sh*t before someone traces your IP, goes to your house and kills you. People take the internets seriously, douche bag.

take this sh*t down you f*cking f*ggot.
I've always hated your piece of sh*t site since you made it.
You're a dirty low down sack of sh*t and the most infamous content stealer on ytmnd.
GET THE F*CK OFF OF HERE, YOU DESERVED TO BE BANNED JUST FOR THE WORST YTMND IN EXISTANCE.
F*CK I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, donate to your site so it gets into the "sponsored" YTMND pile and keep it THERE for months too? STFU and just delete the damn site. It's your fault it's costing that much anyway f*g, with your viewhacks and googlebombs. Thanks for nothing, ass.

if you delete the site, make sure you do it in a way so no one else will be able to steal the domain right away and start a whole new revolution. if anything, let max do the work if he's willing. I guess I'm no expert on this kind of thing, just do it in a smart way

Sure it may have cost Max over 1880, but he make over $5000!!!!! a month with this site.
have you seen the google ads??? lol and also plenty of ppl sponser many sites for enough to help pay for the site costs.

It isn't viewhacked, I freaking linked at least 12 people to it personally, and I know they all linked it to their friends. Seriously, if people like me just keep linking it, no wonder it's out of control.

well the major thing i dislike about the site is that it isnt original, unless he's tom mabe. i mean ytmnd is about originality and slappin each other in the faces with our huge internet penises, not broadcasting the bob and tom show. so really, i dont see why you dont jsut take it down, prank a telemarketer yourself with your own wily scheme, the present that. it would be original and maybe even funny, which is infinitely better than something you heard on the radio.

So... You did nothing, absolutely nothing, creative with the material, you merely transcribed it like you're JournalGraphics all of a sudden, it got hotlinked, it got Max a C&D letter, people have been bitching all this time, & you're putting the burden of responsibility on everyone else because you KNOW damn good & well no site's getting $1800 in donations ? THAT'S chutzpah. Brass cajones, man. If I could, I'd hire you on to MY company, twice, just so I could fire you, twice. Excelsior !

How long have you been gay? Did it just hit you one day, did you decide that a little precum might taste good as an afternoon snack one day? Perhaps the nipple on your bottle wasn't a nipple at all, maybe it was more phallic.
